what a georgous car man...I had 2 of the SS's growing up,one was totaled by a DRUNK DRIVER! And the other, I warped the heads when the heater core went and my wife made me get rid of it regretfully,but now I'm back in the market for an'87 or '88...the wife finally admitted to me that we should have replaced the heads instead of buying a new Baretta GTZ and that car was a leaky piece of ****!

1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS (SickSpeed)

About

Let me start off by saying that this car actually gets raced. I've taken it to quite a few autocrosses. Last time out, I was beating about 60% of the WRX's in the field, with a 3700lb curb weight. Plans for next year include road racing at summit point.

This is my first car, and I have had it for 3 years now. It served as my daily driver for the first two years until I got my other car, the 1991 corolla that is still in my virtual garage here. This car is my pride and joy, and I have invested over 20k into it, including the initial purchase price of 2400.

Check out the Specs and Albums to see what all has been done!

Last time to the track indicated somewhere slightly north of 300 RWHP which means about 340+ at the crank.

She's been in Chevy High Performance magazine and was chosen to be the "face" of MonteCarloSS.com, by being printed on the official merchandise. See http://www.ca...teCarloSScom/ if you are interested

Well it turned out that the rear took an extra 4-5 days as the trucking company's warehouse in baltimore was "backed up" but regardless, I got it.
It took me 7 hours to install it by myself with basically 4 jack stands, 2 hydro jacks, and a nice craftsmen...

The day has finally come that I have my 8.5" posi rear in the mail! It has BRAND NEW posi clutches, installed just before it was shipped. It also has 4.10:1 gears (Stock for my car, which is in it, is 3.73:1). These gears should give me some more...
